Brick red at the core then transitioning to orange at the rim, this is aged Bordeaux in all its glory. The experience starts on the nose with aromas of saddle leather, pipe tobacco and Earl Grey tea at the forefront with notes of blood orange, liquored cherries and plums just underneath while a pronounced layer of dry violets, earth and graphite complete the picture. On the palate the wine is picture-perfect mid-bodied with good structure and balance. All the elements from the nose transition seamlessly and the elegant tannins pleasantly coat the mouth while the acidity drives the wine through a persistent, complex finish. Pair this with some cheese, a few wine geeks and let the conversation flow as the wine opens. Drink now, we’ve already done the aging for you!
